Implication

Photocatalytic nitrogen fixation demonstrates ammonia synthesis in specific heterojunctions, indicating efficiency gains.

Abstract

Photocatalytic nitrogen fixation (PNF) offers a green route to ammonia synthesis under ambient conditions. We present a scalable synthesis of BiOBr/g-C₃N₄ heterojunctions and identify a composition with 10 wt% BiOBr...
